Mashpi Lodge, Ecuadorian Cloudforest

Step outside the cocoon of luxury that is Mashpi Lodge and the cloudforest you have been observing through the massive picture windows suddenly becomes a living, entrancing, multi-dimensional reality. Giant, primitive ferns tower above you. The vast trees of the rainforest reach towards the sky in their quest for sunlight. Swirling mists, tree trunks hung with creepers, mosses and lichens give the forest a fairytale atmosphere. Secret waterfalls and jungle pools are waiting to be discovered.

Put Mashpi Lodge on the must-visit list for your luxury, tailor-made vacation to Ecuador and you’ll discover a sumptuous jungle retreat with every modern comfort - set in an enthralling forest that’s the natural home to ocelot, puma, howler monkeys, peccaries, butterflies, orchids and birds of every shape and color – including gorgeous hummingbirds.
